: something like: "move messages sent to 'olympus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' to folder
: Olympus list", this works really well, but it misses the ones from people
: that use an alias for the list (such as "team OM"), so you'll probably find
: yourself adding some 2 or 3 more rules, but then you're all set. This way I
: can just read the Oly stuff when I have a break from work (or during the
: nights/weekends), and it won't fill up my inbox...
: Maybe a suggestion for you too?

The filter rule I use is easier to implement: IF the subject line contains
"[OM]" THEN move the message to my OM-inbox folder. I think this is the reason
why the [OM] part is added in the first place - easier identification.

Another useful filter I installed - just in case - is: IF the subject line
contains "Important Message From" THEN delete it. This is the Melissa virus. I'm
not sure what happens if some joker sends a message to the OM list with the
subject line 'Important Message From Ken Norton' or something. Outlook Express
probably crashes, as it does when someone sends a message with an empty subject
line....
